Who should inspect for mold in my Dubai apartment?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it might be mold. We’ve lived in our Discovery Gardens apartment for two years, and I just noticed a small patch of black speckles in the corner of our master bedroom closet where we store our winter clothes. It's been so humid lately, and I'm worried it's spreading behind the walls. Who can I call for a proper inspection and what should I look for to make sure they do a thorough job?

As a certified mold inspector in Dubai, I strongly advise against a DIY approach for your situation. Given the symptoms (child coughing) and the high humidity conditions we face, especially in areas like Discovery Gardens with year-round AC use, a professional inspection is critical. You should call a Dubai Municipality-approved environmental consultant or a specialized mold inspection company.
A proper inspection involves more than a visual check. The technician should use a borescope to inspect inside wall cavities, a moisture meter to detect hidden dampness, and perform air quality testing to measure spore counts in different rooms, comparing them to an outdoor control sample. This is essential to determine if the mold behind the walls is affecting your indoor air quality and potentially causing health issues. Ensure the company provides a detailed report with lab results (identifying the mold species, e.g., Aspergillus, Cladosporium) and a clear remediation protocol. In Dubai, remediation must comply with strict health and safety standards to prevent cross-contamination. For a thorough, certified inspection and peace of mind, I recommend contacting our specialists at Saniservice.
